Text, folio 425 (verso), from a Gospel Book with Commentaries

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image is of a yellowed, aged book open to a page with writing on it. A piece of clear tape runs vertically along the left side of the pages. The page on the right has a faded purple discoloration on it, with blotches and splotches throughout. There are also areas where the page appears to be damaged or torn, with visible signs of wear and tear. The page on the left is not visible. The writing on the page is in an old language, possibly Greek. The text is written in a flowing script and is quite dense, covering most of the page. The background of the image is a dark gray surface, which provides a subtle contrast to the aged book.
